CHELSEA, Mass. — Each envelope and box inside the Chelsea Police Department’s evidence room tells a story and contains the keys to justice in criminal cases.

Thousands of boxes neatly stacked from floor to ceiling contain evidence that could put dangerous criminals behind bars and set the wrongly accused free.

“It’s everything. The integrity of evidence goes towards the integrity of the police department. So I think there has to be that constant check and balance,” Chelsea police Chief Brian Kyes told 5 Investigates’ Kathy Curran.
